MEME: State of the Characters

Bringing this back for the first time since July 2022. Please dish, please ping off each other and get plans going! Or don't, I'm not your boss, I'm just a tired bean trying to make it through this Monday.

Anyway, your prompts:

I'm sorry, did someone say something about 'used to have a ton of power'? Is the plant thing necessary, or...?

What's the character's name? Ulysses Zane
How are they feeling right now? Same. And meh.
What's going on for them at the present time? Nothing at all beyond his usual routine of the occasional movie theater shift, pot, Grindr hookups on the mainland, and pining for his friends back home.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? The wasted potential of Uly's nature as a hopeless romantic has been the bane of my time playing him. So that, maybe?
What's coming up for them? Not a damn thing.
Who would you like for them to meet and/or talk with? I'm gonna use my one self-allotted 'everyone' here to say EVERYONE. He's teetering on the edge of getting dropped but I'm considering making one last push to try and see if he can make some kind of connection(s) this late in the game because I do still love him, he's just persistently hard to actually get socializing.

What's the character's name? Lucifer Morningstar
How are they feeling right now? Considering everything that's going on with Duke - see Octavia's post above - NOT GREAT.
What's going on for them at the present time? He's not handling it nearly as well as she is, the end result of years of attempting to help Duke - and often finding himself powerless or even rebuffed. He's managing to keep on a brave face for Duke personally, but nearly fell apart during Date Night with Octavia and is generally barely holding on to the last scraps of his sanity. Fun times!
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? He's about due for a final reckoning with his father, and I am looking forward to him finally meeting the light at the end of a (still a bit darkening) tunnel. But at this point Lucifer would probably be content just being the domestic one in his relationship without anyone developing further mental, physical or emotional issues.
What's coming up for them? The end of Duke's canon plot and hopefully, his own (with a better ending).
Who would you like for them to meet and/or talk with? I am chill and a fan of anyone who decides to wander into his bar night posts.

What's the character's name? Liliana Vess

How are they feeling right now? Good. So good, actually. She's got a potentially viable avenue of research for getting the Chain Veil under control, things with Ignis are going better than she could have hoped, he's even started visiting Innistrad of his own volition (apparently all she needed to do to get him to stop hating it was get him an accountant friend? Who knew!), the mansion's renovations are almost done...as per usual, it's great being Liliana Vess. Sorry not sorry to everyone who isn't.

*looks at the stuff she's been posting to Liliana's journal*

It's definitely gonna stay that way, too, yup. Nothing but smooth sailing from here. >_>

What's going on for them at the present time? *gestures to the above* Honestly, Liliana is just vibing, having a great time. She's got a Halloween party to plan, giving thought to what she might want to teach next semester, idly giving thought to what ridiculous celebration she should have for her birthday...you know, just being an easy, breezy, beautiful Cover Girl.

Eventually, she'll have to start figuring out where Razaketh is, since he's the only demon she doesn't have a firm grip on, but like...she killed two of her demonic creditors within a handful on months. She's got this.

Anything you'd like to explore with this character? Liliana has taken the first wobbly steps towards 'not being a selfish and amoral person and??? Maybe care???' not that she's acknowledging that, thank you. (No more than she's acknowledged any of the other ways she has cared about people beyond herself in the past.) So playing with that dynamic is fun, as is getting to bring people to see places in her Multiverse.
I do always enjoy getting to play with her intellectual side and debating ethics and morals (especially with folks who then have to grapple with 'nice is different than good' because she's charming and charismatic, but also has done some horrific things with zero guilt).
Basically, Liliana's in a really great place for more people to get to see deeper into her (not that she makes it easy) and I'm excited to see who, if anyone, will try and who, if anyone will succeed. She's been described as "a layer cake of arrogance and self-loathing" and most folks have seen the arrogance, it'd be fun for more people to get to the self-loathing.

What's coming up for them?

You know. Nothing big.

Who would you like for them to meet and/or talk with? So, OBVIOUSLY, the usual crowd, that goes without saying, BUT! She and Ignis still have to have Tony and Steve over for dinner, speaking of dinner, I missed the first entry of Dinner Club and I am bereft, she needs to meet Adrian for fun neighbor times, she's GOTTA start talking more to Ghanima and meet John Constantine, she and Tony need to have Fun Lab Times That Absolutely Do Not End In Apocalypses, Honest. Cal because the poor darling clearly needs a mentor and who better than Liliana? Nerding out with Jon and Steven more. Other people who I am blanking on.

She also needs a good rival now that That Vampire is off the island. WHO WANTS TO BE A RIVAL?

What's the character's name? Pamela Isley.
How are they feeling right now? Emotionally unstable, but powering through.
What's going on for them at the present time? Well, after killing and eating the human-plant-hybrid-who-was-once-the-terrible-man-who-made-her-who-she-is-today, she went on to fight and kill one of his proteges, saved a woman named Janet-from-HR, helped her get cancer treatment, and swept her off to a cabin in Seattle to recover...

...and then promptly ran into a crazy fungal creature trying to kill her (again) and wound up on a magical multiversal nexus using powers she didn't know she had as she tried to escape it. So now she's dealing with that. And the creatures that keep on coming, endangering people around her. And an alternate version of her love-of-her-life girl-we're-just-on-a-break-friend who clearly has strong feelings about her (other) self. And... whatever the hell weird plant crap is going on on Fandom.

It's a big plate, there's a lot on it.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? Oh, we're just getting started, baby. What's her relationship to this Harley going to look like? Why is she being chased by fungus monsters? Will the lamia in her system try to kill her again? And then there's the block on her plant powers which she doesn't know is self-imposed self-hatred, and the mutating lamia-from-her-body currently out there just waiting to come bite her in the ass, and...

... and that's without getting into anything she might be getting up to in Fandom from this point.
What's coming up for them? In time, a slow-walked, slightly-differently-paced version of the next bunch of issues of her canon, at least up to her coming back to Gotham. For now, well...
Who would you like for them to meet and/or talk with? ... she's got to get to know all of the island's plant people, hang out more with Yelena, meet mainstays like Octavia, Ghanima and Liliana, maybe meet one of the really earnest Force people (hi Cal!), and-- well, I'm not sure if anyone needs her to meet Marc right now because I have no idea how that conversation will go, but uhhh basically anyone and everyone. She's new.

Have you considered sublimating your self-hatred not into limiting your powers and your agency, but in a never-ending quest to not die because you know exactly what is waiting for you beyond the Veil and you need to avoid that at all costs?

Just saying, it's something to think about.

What's the character's name? Bucky Barnes (James if you're Jesse)
How are they feeling right now? Cautiously hopeful, and yes he finds it weird.
What's going on for them at the present time? Well, he's back on the island - some of the time. He just got back from a month-ish-long stint in Wakanda, where people are trying to help him undo the Winter Soldier programming that's haunting his brain. He'll be going back in in a few feeks.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character?/What's coming up for them? Combining these two into one because otherwise I will repeat myself, probably. What's coming up is he's going to IKEA with Jesse probably sometime this week! Beyond that extremely short scope, we've talked about doing a Control plot, and then of course there's getting through the scraps of canon Bucky has in the (currently) last two Avengers movies and generally getting him closer to doing The Falcon and the Winter Soldier in some shape or form to bring his canon journey to a little bit of closure. (Don't ask me how I feel about what we've seen of Thunderbolts* so far. I have Concerns.)
So the main themes of exploration will be continued healing (definitely not a straight and uncomplicated road, business as usual) and his relationship with Jesse - and through that, his continued efforts to feel fully human again. Complete with feelings he hasn't really allowed himself to acknowledge since the war. Fun!
Who would you like for them to meet and/or talk with? Yelena and the Ghoul jump to mind from semi-recent newcomers. Are you able to handle an ex-soldier/ex-assassin/ex-weapon who's not always the most open but is trying to be better at this human business? Bucky might wanna talk to you.

[personal profile] the_best_sister 2024-09-30 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Pretty sure there's an ex-assassin secret handshake he can use. Hopefully it doesn't involve using the left hand.

[personal profile] weirderthanthou 2024-09-30 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
What's the character's name? Jesse Faden
How are they feeling right now? Pretty good, overall! But also restless.
What's going on for them at the present time? Her multi-year plot to drag James (Bucky to others) back to Fandom succeeded spectacularly. She is pleased, if still nursing some quiet hurt about the years of little contact. Of course, solving that has set loose no small amount of energy, which she's turning back on trying to find a way back to the FBC...

Oh, and there's that thing where she likes hanging out with James and feels weirdly self-conscious about it. No idea what that's about.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character?/What's coming up for them? Once I find some time to type it up, catching up canon in the shape of the Foundation DLC alongside James, which will finally set free a whole bunch of little facts she has neglected to tell anyone over the past few years. Like the whole 'being the director of a shadowy government agency' thing.
Who would you like for them to meet and/or talk with? Jesse is not great at getting out, but I am game for anything, would like her to meet more people (especially of the new people) and would love for her to talk to Wanda again and maybe meet Yelena at the very least.

What's the character's name? Remy LeBeau
How are they feeling right now? Restless
What's going on for them at the present time? Fandom is quieter than Remy is used to generally, and while he's enjoying not nearly dying on a regular basis, he's definitely getting fidgety. It'll probably lead to more taunting of Harley, at minimum.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? Remy's an incurable romantic, and I pretty deliberately pulled him from between bouts of absolute Rogue devotion. He should probably have a fling!
What's coming up for them? I don't have any concrete plans just yet except getting him out and about more and making more connections with folks on the island.
Who would you like for them to meet and/or talk with? Arden for sure, and any other young superpowered folks, especially girls. Boy's got a soft spot you wouldn't BELIEVE. I blame the formative moment of rescuing Marrow in the sewers in canon. :P
He also needs to spend some more Stoic Man Time with Marc. And maybe set up a regular poker game! . . . How do you play poker in RP?
hasaknightjob: Steven waving (Steven waving)

[personal profile] hasaknightjob 2024-09-30 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Excuse me, but I was told his name is Gambit and I should remember it.

Also agreed on more Marc and Remy when we can make it happen. Also maybe instead of poker an outing to a casino for Blackjack? Compromise between gathered around a table to talk with each other but with an NPC dealer to handwavey the card game parts?

(There's also the all purpose room in Midnight but Marc would understand if people questioned whether Midnight might not be biased towards one of its dads people it's in a symbiotic relationship with.)

What's the character's name? Duke Crocker
How are they feeling right now? . . . Hermetic
What's going on for them at the present time? So he's got this thing right now where he has to spout random troubles on the regular if he wants to, like. Exist in a minimum amount of pain. Which has led to him having to rely more on his partners, which is NOT his preferred or habituated way to live, so he's spending a lot of time in hiding (which is a nice excuse for me and my lack of brains just now.)
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? Ohhhhh there's such fun (for me, not Duke) on the horizon. I'm so excited for the Haven end run, y'all!
What's coming up for them? HAVEN END RUN. Part one of which will land VERY SOON.
Who would you like for them to meet and/or talk with? I mean, if I manage to get him out and talking to anyone at all, I will consider it a success. Hopefully part one of plot landing will make that slightly easier!

What's the character's name? Kamala Khan
How are they feeling right now? Great!
What's going on for them at the present time? School and work take up the busy time. Hanging with her friends has been good. Nothing bad going on! Just a happy teenager.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character?
I have no serious plans for the girl. Long term is just graduation and working on the island until one day she becomes an Avenger! Or a second season. Or a cameo. Or she gets disillusioned with the hero gig and just works for Stark.
What's coming up for them?Couple of things that really isn’t her plot but she’s involved.
Who would you like for them to meet and/or talk with? The usual crew as always but always willing to hang out with others!

What's the character's name? Dean Winchester
How are they feeling right now? Doing good!
What's going on for them at the present time? Dean is transitioning from being a hunter to a supporting role and filling in where Bobby Singer used to be. He’s in the healthiest relationship he’s probably ever had and so far the world hasn’t ended. Huge deal for him.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? I feel like Dean is not only going into support mode for other hunters but also the people around him. I’d like to explore that a bit more.
What's coming up for them? More of a support role as he moves out of hunting. Possibly interacting with his brother. Eventually. And just seeing where this whole experience takes him.
Who would you like for them to meet and/or talk with? Pretty much everyone. Getting Yelena set in meant less time for Dean. That’s changing soon.

What's the character's name? Steven Grant
How are they feeling right now? Pretty good, actually. Well, next two weeks in particular might be touch and go on melancholy, but it's been getting better each year
What's going on for them at the present time? Right now Steven's fairly happy with his life. He has a job he enjoys and something like a family, even if it's not the type of family he dreamed of growing up. But he has a partner he adores, he and Marc are doing well together, a home, pets - it's not a traditional family but it's his. He also likes the idea that the boarding house offers a place that can be home for others who feel like they don't exactly fit elsewhere.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? Steven's continuing to learn more about who he actually is vs what he was told, so there'll be more of that. Steven's also trying hard to figure out how to best support Marc as Marc makes steps towards socializing and connecting with people. Steven has very strong feelings about all this but he doesn't want to interfere either, even if he's sorely tempted to. We'll see how successful he is with all that.
What's coming up for them? Anything related to the above. Nothing else huge on the horizon.
Who would you like for them to meet and/or talk with? Steven's always glad to meet new people. Now whether my RL will allow me to get him out and about more continues to remain to be seen.

What's the character's name? Marc Spector
How are they feeling right now? You expect Marc to have feelings?
What's going on for them at the present time? Adopting a sentient pocket universe has made Marc's protector instincts start to grow. The list of my people vs not my people has expanded from Steven and Watts. How much it's expanded isn't something he likes to admit or talk about. Like a bunch of people? Him? No. But try messing with his residents and there could be a discussion.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? As Steven correctly understood, the more Marc gets out the more he connects with and starts to care about people. So trying to get Marc out and about more (though see above on my RL getting in the way of this). Also the continuing adventures of "Look, I just type here" that is Marc and Harley's... *vague gesture* whole deal.
What's coming up for them? At the moment no huge plans other than trying to get him out there when I can and seeing what happens.
Who would you like for them to meet and/or talk with? Marc has zero interest in meeting anyone ever.

How are they feeling right now? Perfectly fine.
What's going on for them at the present time? Not too much because RL keeps smacking me. But it also means Rey's getting to do more Jedi stuff offscreen at home.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? Not specifically, see also RL.
What's coming up for them? Dunno, see also RL.
Who would you like for them to meet and/or talk with? Everyone, but, Anakin, Summer, Dean, Raiden, Jane, she and Luke super need more ways to relate, I liked her dates with Lydia and Adrian, Stark, should probably meet Ahsoka these days, I'm probably missing people...

What's the character's name? Dr. Harleen Frances Quinzel, or just plain Harley Quinn for short!
How are they feeling right now? Weird.
What's going on for them at the present time? Well, one of her exes just showed up out of the blue! And while Pam is not The Big One, and technically not even her ex thanks to multiversal whatthefuckery, Harley's feeling some kind of way about it.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? *points above* That thing. As well as Harley's continuing journey into being her own person post-Joker, and maybe not so rotten that it needs to be tattooed on her jaw, after all.
Also like TBQ mentioned, there's the extremely "okay but it's not a thing" thing between her and Marc that I cannot predict the trajectory of, which is very fun for me to explore!
What's coming up for them? Nothing in particular! I'm noodling on some potential little off-island plotlets inspired by comics, so I can have an excuse to drag people to Gotham, but nothing more solid than that yet.
Who would you like for them to meet and/or talk with? Anyone and everyone! The bigger problem is getting her to shut up. But seriously, I will very happily throw her at anyone. With the caveat that the island's cops are more likely to have a harder time with her than most, because gal's got law enforcement trauma/resentment like whoa.

What's the character's name? Arden Finch

How are they feeling right now? Our girl is having a rough time of it.

What's going on for them at the present time? She found out she had a new and horrible power, ruining what was shaping up to be a really fun time out with Gray and also maybe making his family hate her. (Okay, probably not, but also what if?????) Then Bruno told her that her human dad actually wasn't, meaning that she knows even less about herself than she did before and taking away all of her cultural touchstones. Is she allowed to celebrate human holidays when she doesn't have a human side at all? What is she? Something truly weird and alien and she doesn't know.

But, uh, you know? Classes are good? *weak thumbs up* And she's got a date with a cute girl coming on up Saturday that she's toooooootally gonna make it to!

Anything you'd like to explore with this character? Oh you know. Light things like, "what is the nature of humanity?" "What does it mean to be Other?" "What does it mean to belong?" "how do you deal with the echoing loneliness that comes from being the only one of your species, kin but never kind?" "What's the current speedrun time to send a Jedi to the Dark Side and can I beat it?" Your typical 19 year old concerns.

What's coming up for them? I'm going to be very, very mean to Arden over the weekend and after that, I will be nicer to her. By which I mean, she will get no answers or catharsis, but I won't be actively picking on her for a hot second, so like. That counts, right?

Who would you like for them to meet and/or talk with? I love it when she gets to hang out with the schoolgang, but I'm also happy to have her dipping her toes in socializing with adults. Obviously everybody in Midnight, I adore the connections we've forged there, she hasn't spent time with Marc in ages, she's gotta get her second job from Dean, she's gotta start opening up to Prompto as part of the orphans club (sorry not sorry in advance for your tears, Prompto), Ms. Lana...like, honestly. Girl will be happy to socialize with anybody, on a sliding scale of incredible awkwardness.

How are they feeling right now? Off kilter
What's going on for them at the present time? She's cut off from her home world which is fine. It's fine. Clint lives here on the island and is happy and well adjusted which is also just fine. Absolutely fine. Tony? Alive and married to some guy who lives on the moon back in her reality. It's just great. Not a big deal. She'll figure out how to deal with this eventually and not have a nervous breakdown or ever.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? How to make that intern working at Stark's shut up for ten seconds.
What's coming up for them? Probably dealing with whoever is forcing Stark Industries to listen to AC/DC non-stop.

Honestly these days I just toss my characters different places and see how they do and interact with others. I just build from that.
Who would you like for them to meet and/or talk with?
Bartenders who make awesome cocktails (not Tino. Never Tino) People who are super cool.

What's the character's name? Summer Smith
How are they feeling right now? Good! Pretty good! Other people are getting the braincell more these days, and that's fine!
What's going on for them at the present time? Not a whole lot because this character can sometimes be exhausting to keep up with and she's really out-matured her canon these days, so she's just sort of there, but currently pretty okay with that while she patiently waits for me to decide what to do with her.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? Because my time is a lot more limited these days, I've been considering having her fuck off to space for a bit again, because that's always good for when Summer sort of gets shuffled to the back of the line. I feel like I should be having her getting restless and wanting to DO MORE lately, but I just don't have the time, so she's strangely Zen about things for now.
What's coming up for them? As SOON as I get time, I really want to do something with the Go-Tron episode, because I think it's hilarious that, in order for it to work, Summer ISN'T the main Summer in that one, but instead is a side-character Summer.

Also she gets to pilot a space mech.

Also I really gotta pindown her getting her lightsaber and I can POSSIBLY even give her Wolverine claws now, but that just feels awkward now with Logan here. Awkward....or potentially AMAZING????? You tell me.

Who would you like for them to meet and/or talk with?
ARE YOU OLD AND CRANKY? THEN APPARENTLY YOU'RE JUST SUMMER'S TYPE OF BESTIE THESE DAYS!! I really enjoy her interactions with Yelena, but she MISSES YOU, DEAN, and you are her new favorite person to foist gross jello on. And Logan sure has potential if she didn't scare him off at the bar yet! Plus, see previous statement about how she canonically can get WOLVERINE CLAWS. And I really, really, really wish I had more brain energy to throw her and Harley into capers and stuff more often (hijinks capers, not those weird flower berry things!)

(Dean will be by soon for jello shot shenanigans I promise)

What's the character's name? Prompto Argentum
How are they feeling right now? Pretty good! Mostly trusting it now, too!
What's going on for them at the present time?
Well, real life Noctra has definitely been sucking up a lot of his time and attention these days, especially now that she's more chatty and mobile and exploring this great wide world around her, and you know what? He's pretty sure he wouldn't want it any other day. He feels settled and comfortable in a way that he's never really felt before, and it's pretty nice! And convenient for what I don't have a lot of time!

Anything you'd like to explore with this character?
Well, spoilers, but Eos is opening up with Parents Weekend, and, since I'm doing a bit of fat trimming lately, I have been contemplating pulling what I'm going to be calling an "Annie and Diego", and have the Argentums consider trying things out back home...especially if we decide to set them along the path of that that one 20 year reunion where they had literally FIFTEEN KIDS. It's all sort of ideas and thoughts and musings right now, but....

What's coming up for them?
I MEAN, EOS OPENING BACK UP WILL BE A BIG THING. Even if it will make him initially a little nervous, considering, you know, LAST time they went back there, they got STUCK FOR TEN YEARS AND IT WAS TERRIBLE.

Who would you like for them to meet and/or talk with?
I have been adoring the interactions he's been having with Arden now that he's much better about the whole "OH COOL, you share the name with the guy who not only destroyed our entire world but also tortured me SPECIFICALLY on a VERY personal level!" thing, so always, more of that. He's been such a homebody lately that there's a lot of people he still needs to meet! I feel like he'd get on with Harley really well, and Yelena, too. He and Sabine REALLY need to catch up at some point, as well; if the planets align where I can throw him at her at Wellspring, there's NO excuse why not to, dammit!

What's the character's name? Adrian Blackwood

How are they feeling right now? Overwhelmed but exultant!

What's going on for them at the present time? Well, he finally settled down and made his Blackwood grove, and the whole ordeal had a lot more drama than he expected. Now he's got a new boss and, shit, he still needs some Lot's Salt.

Anything you'd like to explore with this character? Adrian is just chill! Because he's precanon, I gotta figure out what I want him to do and right now that's just "hang out and not make waves." He's been here a month and had to deal with two larp weekends, a missing week for sickness, and both Arden and Liliana plot-wrangling, so he's not as established as I'd like him to be, but he'd gonna get there!

What's coming up for them? Nothing yet! PW is gonna be fun when his aunts show up, but again. Chill.

Who would you like for them to meet and/or talk with? Well, obviously, Yelena, Lydia, and Pam. Then his extended social circle of Wolverine, Summer, and Raiden. Folks at Yelena's party seem nice, and he liked everyone he had a date with! And Ignis and Liliana for neighbor shenanigans. And Dinner Club! AUGH IT KILLS ME I MISSED DINNER CLUB.

Basically, I need to do a better job of throwing him out there.

What's the character's name? Ignis Scientia
How are they feeling right now? Shockingly wonderful.
What's going on for them at the present time?
Enjoying a small bit of piece before what will no doubt be a whirlwind of chaos. What's that? Plotty reason? Oh, no, no, nothing like that (surely!). It's just he'll know he'll have the Halloween party coming up, and then Liliana's birthday, and then that's going to lead into Christmas, and then after that is Noctra's birthday (what do you mean, I've skipped over someone's? Don't be silly). Plus, you know, he has been spending more time on Innistrad, what with learning the ins and outs of...erm....Liliana's estates. Yes. That's it. That's absolutely it.

Anything you'd like to explore with this character?
UM, YES, BUT I FEEL WEIRD TALKING ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT'S STILL PENDING ADMIN APPROVAL.

What's coming up for them?
Let's just say that Ignis' opinion on Innistrad will not be improving, and, as soon as I have more time/brain for it, he is definitely going to be pushing Liliana a little more about that whole daemon business. No reason. But, you know, that.....does seem like something they should handle, uh....SOON.

Who would you like for them to meet and/or talk with?
Ignis was hard to socialize when he got back because he was depressed as fuck; now that he's over the moon happy, he's still hard to socialize! FRUSTRATING, SIR. So I'm particularly excited to get him involved in the Supper Club. I really, really liked how he played off of Lydia, and I think it's going to be an extremely slow burn, but I'm excited to see what friendship might develop with Flint. Also looking forward to getting him to meet Adrian, because Nu and I have talked about how they'd likely get on, and I really need to find more ways for him to interact with Dean because those interactions never fail to amuse the hell out of me.

And, of course, with Navaan now out of the picture for now, he clearly needs a new actual love interest. 😇

What's the character's name? Gladiolus Amicitia
How are they feeling right now? Content
What's going on for them at the present time?
Honestly? Not a whole lot but just enjoying life and that's super great for him. Wouldn't it be a shame if--

--nah, just kidding. A certain weekend coming up here is going to throw him through a little bit of a loop, but it's going to be an entirely positive one, though I'm looking forward to seeing how he handles the emotions its going to stir up in him.

Anything you'd like to explore with this character?
Yes, he's had this little kernel of a thought in his brain about Soulwood for a while now that he's just itching to find the right time to actually mention it, but because it's just miasma in my head right now, I don't want to say too much. But he's going to have a lot to think about when it comes to place and home and things like that after this weekend that I've been looking forward to for QUITE some time, now, actually....

What's coming up for them?
This PW is going to be huge for Gladio, so really looking forward to how that's going to play out!

Who would you like for them to meet and/or talk with?
LOOK, IT'S NOT THE SAME GILGAMESH, BUT IF YOU NEED SOMEONE TO BITCH ABOUT GILGAMESHES TO, ADRIAN, HERE'S YOUR GUY! And then everyone I feel I've really been enjoying throwing him at lately, or need to throw at more often again, or need to throw at in general are all fellow muscly types: Thor, McGarrett, Logan (sorry other muscly guys that work killed in my brain, but you're on here, too!).....and then there's....Jon. Lol. I need to throw him at the bookstore with both Flint AND Logan....

And always his best friend LILS.

What's the character's name? Stark

How are they feeling right now? exhausted oh no that's just me Content. He feels good.

What's going on for them at the present time? He's...happy? Which is still weird for him. Might always be weird for him.

Anything you'd like to explore with this character? Idk. Sometimes it's just "let's see what happens for my glowy alien" and I am definitely in that sort of mode at the moment. I might see, someday, about trying to get him to try to face his fears and visit the boarding house. Figuring out how to ACTUALLY repair things with Ignis.
his forbidden love with Prompto

What's coming up for them? Nothing major is planned but he ought to go home more often. And maybe meet Summer's parents for the lols. Do some Space Shit.

Who would you like for them to meet and/or talk with? He should at least MEET the new people he hasn't managed to meet yet. It's a tiny island. He hasn't seen Marc in roughly forever. He always likes talking to Anakin. And Rey. He's curious what Logan's deal is. He likes Dean. He thinks Harley is interesting. Anyone, really. He's happy to give anybody a chance at the very least.

What's the character's name? Boc the Seamster
How are they feeling right now? Nervous! What else??
What's going on for them at the present time?
One good thing about hermit characters is that when I don't have a lot of time, they're just....being in character, lol. At the present moment, he's being reminded that just staying in his shop all day, every day is pretty nice. He's still recovering from 3MD, and Sundays have been NIGHTMARISH for me, so he hasn't even been bothering with his cinnamon rolls anymore! TRAGIC.

Anything you'd like to explore with this character?
Warming up to people to the point where he starts to think Mimic Tears are a good idea (mwa ha ha) (if you know, you know)

What's coming up for them?
The STUPIDEST PW guest ever, I'm super excited for it, it's so dumb. BUT it's also a big moment because I'm kind of on the fence about using it as his exit plot? I adore Boc with every fiber of my being, but I haven't had much time lately, so I've been trimming some fat, and, seeing how things go...

It's a good out to get him back to the Lands Between by choice, and it's an interesting take, so I might seize it. But I think I'd rather just have him realize that that's CRAZY and stay here.

Who would you like for them to meet and/or talk with?
See, now, this one's tricky, because I know Boc isn't the easiest to socialize with at ALL, and there are some people, like Arden and Lydia and Stark (my god, I will never get tired of how exhausting he finds Stark XD), and Raiden to a degree, that have started to make him feel more comfortable and so those are the easy ones. I think he'd get on really well with Rey especially, and Steven, and Bruce.

Yes, I'm including Harley's hyena specifically, because if it hadn't been SUNDAY, let me tell you, I was going to throw him into Harley's recent park post and have him mostly just relate to hyena, because, I mean, well....*gestures at him* I also wish things had gone a little better with Remy the one time they'd met, and, I mean, obviously, his and Logan's date was the best date of the entire last 3MD.

What's the character's name? Eleanor Zarrin
How are they feeling right now?
Quite possibly better than she's ever been in her entire short life, which is nervewracking, because that's not how things go for Eleanor

What's going on for them at the present time?
In addition to actually having a great girlfriend and actual friends (whaaaaat?), she's been working a little more on developing her apothecary skills and trying to figure out how to continue her grandmother's business as her family settles into a new location. SHE'S ALSO TRYING TO LEARN URDU to impress Kamala's parents like the total NERD that she is and discovering some Pakistani poets.

Anything you'd like to explore with this character?
I'd love for her to get to a place where she's more comfortable talking about her abilities, and having guests this weekend, her cousin specifically, should open up some really interesting ideas, I feel, regarding that and just the Rhys Problem in general. I have a feeling it's going to open a lot of interesting doors for exploring her character more.

In general, I fell I've finally really gotten a GRASP on Eleanor now that she has some on-island family to tie herself to, and so I really feel like she's actually kind of fresh and new and it's DELIGHTFUL.

OH AND ALSO? Actually getting her freaking time period correct! I apparently suck at math and/or completely forgot that there IS a date mentioned in the book after all, AND a timeline, and somehow I screw it all up, so this is where I'm sharing with everyone that she's actually from the 1970s, NOT the 1960s, and so from here on in, we're just going to pretend all that 60s bullshit never happened. ONTO THE 70s BULLSHIT!

What's coming up for them?
Nothing specific or big except the above mentioned explorations of her abilities

Who would you like for them to meet and/or talk with?
Oooooh, I have so many for this one!! She and Arden need to TALK ABOUT ABILITIES AND NONHUMANNESS ALREADY, DAMMIT. She needs to befriend Lydia and Belle and Charlie and Gray more, and especially you, CAL KESTIS. And now that I think she's comfortable in her friend group, I think she would actually be confident enough to maybe say Hi and get to know Henry better, too, maybe at the next Midnight gathering she slips into via girlfriend. From what I can glean, I think they could have some REALLY fascinating connections if they both managed to get past the walls they've built up toward other people. I want to throw her at Nell more, and I definitely want her to meet Adrian and maybe learn some stuff from him, and she will be absolutely fascinated by Pam and could learn even more from her.

What's the character's name? Sabine Wren
How are they feeling right now? Eh.
What's going on for them at the present time? Jedi training? Otherwise nothing, which is exactly what she both wanted and wanted to avoid.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? There's a whole lot of trauma that's happened for Sabine since she was a student that I'd like for her to get into. Also, again, Jedi training for the worst Jedi ever.
What's coming up for them? Nothing in particular. Maybe I get her the cat.
Who would you like for them to meet and/or talk with? Cheating, but everyone. She fell by the wayside a little when RL exploded so I need to throw her out there more to fix that.
